During maths this week, we have started to look at numbers all the way up to 50! We discussed how grouping them into tens helped us to count them quickly and effectivly. We used our knowledge of 10 frames to group the objects, allowing us to count how many tens there were, how many ones there were and how many there were all together.
In art, we have been looking at artwork by Jean Metzinger and comparing this to artists we looked at in Reception, Monet and Van Gogh. This week we had a go at creating a piece of artwork inspired by Metzinger, using colouring pencils to carefully colour in each square to create a landscape. We used some realistic colours and some none-realistic colours, just like Metzinger. How fabulous they are!
We have noticed that we have had some underground visitors to our school grounds recently; mole hills have appeared all over our school field! We read a lovely story called ‘Mole’s Sunrise’ which is about a mole with some very kind friends. Mole can’t see very well so they help him to use his other senses to understand the beauty of the sun rising. We thought about how our moles will be able to hear us playing on the field through sound and vibrations and used our senses to find each other without looking. It was a cold and rainy morning so we needed a hot chocolate to warm us up!
